Do you remember Pinky and the Brain? Those tanks rolled through my birth country in 1945. Those tanks rolled through my original home land in 1956. And when those tanks come rolling in, you don't want to get in the way. The Russians took my grandfather POW in 1945 and did not release him until they changed sides to the Allies. He came home so ill that my grandmother did not recognize him at the train station. My father was 13 years old when those tanks came rolling in in 1956. He almost left then, except for the fact that his ride could not idle in the street for him to get dressed and had gone by the time he emerged from the house. That's right, folks, the memories are fading and the altruistic, unrealistic naivete of the ruling parties will not face the cold, hard facts. At least Putin does not pretend to be something he's not. We all know who and how he is, and he's acting exactly as expected and predicted.
